Big weekend coming at Bad Left Hook

We're going to have a big three-card weekend here at Bad Left Hook starting on Friday, June 6, with ESPN2's Friday Night Fights showcasing a solid main event between junior welterweights Herman Ngoudjo (16-2, 9 KO) and Souleymane M'baye (36-2-1, 21 KO). Ngoudjo's record is nothing special on paper, but he was at his absolute best in January against Paulie Malignaggi, a really tight unanimous decision win for Paulie in a bout that I thought Ngoudjo did enough to win. Regardless, it was (like his fight with Jose Luis Castillo, his other loss) a very close one to call. M'baye lost the WBA title last July in an upset to Gavin Rees. Both guys are looking to get back into a title mix. Plus, the fight takes place in Montreal, a city that boasts some of the best boxing fans on the planet.

Saturday has Pavlik-Lockett and Ponce de Leon-Lopez on HBO, of course, and Showtime counters with Forrest-Mora and Quintana-Williams II. Here's a two-minute refresher from the first Quintana-Williams scrap in February, courtesey of HBO:

Forrest-Mora is not something I'm terribly interested in and I will not watch it live. My plan is to catch the Quintana-Williams rematch at 9, then go over to HBO at 10:05. We'll have much more on those two cards this week.

After a fairly quiet May, it's good to see the schedule filling up again. May did have some nice stuff, to be fair. Tim Bradley's win over Junior Witter was a legit shocker, and we got to see Oscar de la Hoya and Ricky Hatton back in the ring, although they were both infomercial fights.

WOW

HBO pulled a rabit out of their hats with the scheduling. Judging from time, fight will prob begin at 9:15 just hopefully they’ll show some recap from the previous fight. If the fight does last the 12 round, I hope not I hope Quintana knocks this guy out, then we’re good to go. It’d be minutes away from the HBO double header. That work out well, catch you in the funny papers Forrest.

Yes, I wanna see the Juanma Lopez fight but I just can’t wait for this Quintana-Williams fight any more. Days away of deperation.
